Every single one of you have heard his voice a thousand times. “In a world” may be the most famous voice-over phrase since “Let’s get ready to rumble”. I’d imagine that hearing that gravelly voice utter that phrase over the trailer for a movie you made would be a sign that you’d reached the big time. (Although not really. According to Ain’t It Cool News LaFontaine recorded over 5,000 trailers. Some of those movies had to suck. But at least they had an awesome trailer.)
